Review on πŸͺ Whiteside Biscuit Router Bits 1940 by Mike Goodwin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much cheaper than a cookie cutter if you have a router.

If you want to make cookie seams (cookies of any size) and you have a good router, this set will save you from having to buy cookie seam cutters. The only downside is deciding how long to cut the holes. The cutter uses a 4 inch (or so) diameter blade so the slits are the correct length. The blade of this cutter is slightly smaller, so you will need to lengthen the holes by moving the router about 1 inch along the edge. There are two solutions (maybe others I haven't thought of). First carefully measure both parts and cut out the exact holes. It takes time. Easier, cut a long groove from one end to the other (you can make it short so it's not visible) and place the biscuit on the eye. The first is stronger, but the second works, especially if you place the cookies snugly together and/or the wood is over 1/2" thick. I just used my new one to create a 3 4" flush edge around a Laying down 1/2" oak clad plywood. It worked great. A professional carpenter will no doubt get a cookie cutter. The casual carpenter of any level will find it gets the job done for a lower price. Manufacturing) base, as usual, makes it easier to flatten the part to be joined Interchangeable bearings (and an Allen key) are available to accommodate three standard cookie sizes The only thing missing is the box, but for the price I won't forgive one Star for this omission Also remember that there is a version of this kit with a 1/4" shank, everything else is the same and there are more reviews.
